yes ! There are confirmations, of sorts, that lead us this way ! Joni
I think this indicates that they ARE probably cousins.
She is saying that his cousin (who he calls his brother) was a partner in the business and that Fredy wasn't just an alias for RB.
I'd agree RB did put some effort into the letter.... by copying various passages from books. The passage that starts with... "Frederick was perturbed when admitting to himself how little he knew of feminine psychology. An intelligent woman like his wife would have talked nineteen to the dozen, noted voice inflection, eyes and mouth expression and, having added"... was taken directly from a book named Venom House" by Arthur W. Upfield first published in 1953. Except Frederick was Bony.
Wowsers!!I'd agree RB did put some effort into the letter.... by copying various passages from books. The passage that starts with...

Venom House
The Answerth family's mansion seems to deserve its nickname of Venom House - perhaps because of its forbidding setting, an island in the centre of a man-made lake, its treacherous waters studded by the skeletons of long-dead trees. Perhaps it's because of the unquiet ghosts of the Aboriginals...books.google.com.au
In another passage with "it doesn't pay to ride a theory too hard, you lose sight of the reality" is taken from a well known book Rich Man Poor Man" by Irwin Shaw.
I'd guess there are quite a few other snippets that he stole from legitimate authors.
IMO
God I love this! How typical Blum.. steal, steal steal.. cash, coins, artwork and now words hahahaI'd agree RB did put some effort into the letter.... by copying various passages from books.

Just goes to show how inept he knew he was at writing an intelligent letter to his "beloved".
Have you been able to find where he got the “song in a man’s testicles” from!?I'd agree RB did put some effort into the letter.... by copying various passages from books.

Found it.
From the book “young lions-a novel - Irwin Shaw” see print screen.
The Young Lions is one of the most powerful American novels to tackle the Second World War. Ambitious in its scope and robust in its prose, Irwin Shaw’s work is also deeply humanistic, presenting the reality of war as seen through the eyes of ordinary soldiers on both sides. The story follows the individual dramas—and ultimately intertwined destinies—of Christian Diestl, a Nazi sergeant; Noah Ackerman, a Jewish American infantryman; and Michael Whitacre, an idealistic urbanite from the New York theatrical world.The Young Lions (ebook), Irwin Shaw | 9781480408104 | Boeken | bol

To be fair, he didn't claim to have come up with that expression himself. He was very vague about where it was from though... He narrowed it down to one of two countries.
Great discoveries @car54 ! It fits with RB’s Walter Mitty type persona that he should identify himself as characters in novels and employ quotes to express himself. One thing we can say is that he is well read and it would be interesting to see if any alter egos, aliases and “stories” can be found elsewhere in literature.I'd agree RB did put some effort into the letter.... by copying various passages from books.
